We have had snowfall for a few hours now off and on sticking here and there. Is it snowing anywhere else or are we just the unlucky ones I say that as I hate snow.

Snow falling all morning in Wiltshire but none has settled on the roads or pathways as yet, though a little on the grass.

It is 1°C here in Glasgow and the sun is shining!

It is usually us, who have the snow.

A big sloppy fall in South Bucks, still covering the car and lawn, but turning to sleety rain. Blooming cold too.

Rain, rain and more rain here in the Channel Isles, and oh so cold.

Here in Berkshire, we started with rain, which progressed to sleet which ended up in big wet snowflakes which were never likely to lie. The crisp, golden leaves are now soggy and, inevitably, slippery. I fear it will all freeze tonight.

At least a lot of people are geared up to work from home now so they can stay off the roads and leave them a bit quieter for those who have to get in to work.

None here in Appleby at the moment which is a great pity as I LOVE snow, the thicker the better!

My Labrador was delighted to race about in the snow this morning. He got a shorter time to play as his human got v]cold despite being thermal head to toe

No snow on the SE coast but tremendous winds and rain last night..

It looks so pretty - but is a darned nuisance!! smile

Still falling steadily .......

I live in the middle of nowhere and set off in a blizzard (after clearing the snow off the car) to go to the surgery - a half hour or more journey at the best of times - and warning lights came on on the car half way. I rang the surgery on my mobile and turned round and came back and am now nursing a nice hot cup of tea. Phew.

It's coming down steadily here.

None here in south Devon yet. Although there might be some on the nearby moors. Dartmoor often gets bits of snow near here.
I quite like to see some, but then am glad when it goes away.

While here in Ontario where we should be snowed under, we have bright blue skies and temperatures well above normal and no snow forecast,long may it last.

Plenty of light rain through the night in Bristol , but I doubt it’ll be cold enough for snow or frost…

It is now!

Hope my family will all get home ok, they are in Gloucestershire but higher up!

Ironically Ashcombe we were in France for our 8 month visit, I wanted my birthday there (March 1st), it was -12 on our drive down overnight and snow flurries near Bordeaux!

Shinamae Tue 19-Nov-24 10:33:11

Love it but seldom get it here in North Devon,at the moment it’s very windy and raining…🤷‍♀️
The exception is Dartmoor,I believe they get snow there and Exmoor…

Fleurpepper Tue 19-Nov-24 10:32:11

Our magnificent Indian Summer ended yesterday, grey and cold, and today, it is raining- Can't remember when it last rained.

Snow is on the way for tomorrow- but we are very well equipped here, 4X4 with snow tyres, and roads are so well maintained and snow ploughs will be going around as soon as it starts. And lots of wood ready for the big stone clad wood burner. Bring it on.

Don’t see much snow around here (I may regret saying that!) and if we did, even less likely to see the gritters out but I loved these road gritter names from North of the Border grin

I absolutely love that here in Scotland, we name our gritters! I love spotting them when we're out and about. I see we've got quite a few new names this year. There's an interactive map which you can go onto and see where each gritter is currently working.

It's just stopped here in Hertfordshire - and its melted thank goodness

BlueSapphire Tue 19-Nov-24 10:10:41

Snow in Northampton!

Kate1949 Tue 19-Nov-24 09:51:53

Snowing here in Birmingham. Yuk.

welshchrissy Tue 19-Nov-24 09:47:46

A fair amount of snow here in north wales. Good excuse for a duvet day

FrankandEarnest Tue 19-Nov-24 09:06:13

Fat snowflakes on the Oxfordshire Plain between Oxford and Aylesbury, a big surprise at 7/8 this morning, flakes diminishing now and the sky melting from white to baby blue

safe travels everyone
